Glutamate is an amino acid, found in protein-containing foods. It is one of the most abundant and important components of proteins. Glutamate occurs naturally in cheese, milk, meat, fish, and many vegetables. Glutamate is also produced by the human body and is vital for metabolism and brain function.
Fresh frozen plasma. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is a blood product made from the liquid portion of whole blood. It is used to treat conditions in which there are low blood clotting factors (INR>1.5) or low levels of other blood proteins. It is also used as part of plasma exchange.
DDAVP is useful for patients with type 1 disease where there is still a significant circulating level of functional protein; it may occasionally be of benefit in type 2A, and is theoretically contraindicated in type 2B (where it may worsen the thrombocytopenia).
